This #IWD2026 we’re launching #FromPresenceToPower, a mini-series on #WomenInScience in cooperation with @iapartnership.bsky.social!

⚖️ Our first feature, #EASAC President Lise Øvreås reminds us that gender equality in science needs structural change so women can lead, influence and set the agenda.
Lise Øvreås, EASAC President, says: "Reaching leadership positions in both the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA) and EASAC has shown me how vital it is that women’s expertise is reflected not only in membership, but in the decisions that guide scientific institutions. Equality means influence, not just presence."
